Manchester United target Robert Lewandowski has admitted he would find it hard to turn down a move to the Red Devils and would be open to a transfer in January.

The Polish striker has said he would seriously consider an offer from the Old Trafford club who have reportedly been monitoring him since the summer and could potentially make a move for him next month.

‘For now I’m only thinking about Borussia Dortmund, but I can’t deny that it would be very difficult to say ‘no’ to a club like United,’ he told German newspaper Kicker.‘We’ll see what happens in January.’

Lewandowski, who is also being tracked by Chelsea, has scored 14 goals in 23 games for the German champions this season.

The 24-year-old was apparently close to a move to United in the summer but the Premier League heavyweights are thought to have gone with former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie instead.

The lethal forward has just 18 months left on his contract, which may force his club to sell him if they receive a substantial offer.
